Ravioli & Tomato Vegetable Soup

Ravioli & Tomato Vegetable ~ Super Soups

Ravioli & Vegetable Soup

This recipe is awesome and it's full of lycopenes.

Play with the ratio of soup broth to the veggies.

Add crushed red pepper instead of cayenne for more depth of flavor.

Use fresh onions and garlic for the best taste.

4 servings, about 2 c. each

Active Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

* 2 c. frozen bell pepper and onion mix, thawed and diced

* 1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted

* 1 15-oz. can vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth

* 1 1/2 c. hot water

* 1 tsp. dried basil or marjoram

* 1 6 to 9 oz. package fresh or frozen cheese (or meat) ravioli, preferably whole-wheat

* 2 c. diced zucchini, (about 2 medium)

Preparation;

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
